Question

What time do you usually start _______ in the morning?
Fill in the blank with an appropriate option
A) School
B) Work
C) Church
D) Terrace

Answer 1

Hint: The given sentence in the question is an interrogative sentence as it ends with a question mark. An interrogative sentence is a type of sentence that asks a question, as opposed to sentences that make a statement, deliver a command, or express an exclamation. We have to fill the blank with such an option that gives a grammatical sense.

Complete answer:
School church and terrace are common nouns (places) while work is an uncountable noun.
Let us analyze the given options:
A) School is an incorrect option - if the school was to be used in the sentence it must have been preceded by a pronoun ‘your’. Only then, this option would have been correct. But, the sentence does not have the pronoun and neither does the option.
B) Work is a Correct option.- It is the correct option because the sentence asks ‘What do we start ?’ and we cannot start a church or terrace therefore ‘work’ is the most relevant option.
C) Church is an incorrect option - It is incorrect because it makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. If the church was to be used in the sentence then instead of the verb ‘start’ we would have used the verb ‘open’.
D) Terrace is an incorrect option - It is incorrect because it makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. If terrace was to be used in the sentence then instead of the verb ‘start’ we would have used the verb ‘go’ followed by the preposition ‘on’.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:
- Work in the given interrogative sentence is the most appropriate option because all the other options do not comply with the preceding verb ‘start’.
- Uncountable nouns are nouns that we cannot count; they can be minute things, an idea or a quality. They are used with singular verbs.
